The poor from other nations migrate to the US because they believe they can have a better life. That vision is not unlike the girl in the Midwest who believes that she can become an actress if she moves to Hollywood, or a model if she moves to NYC. Most don't find success whether they are that Midwest girl or a poor immigrant from Brazil but the dream continues to exist because there's no real alternative.

They might not find the level of success they had imagined they would, but most people moving from the rural Midwest to NYC or LA do make more money, and most people moving from Brazil or Mexico to the US make a lot more (and make more even after adjusting for our higher cost of living).
